By day, I’m a mild-mannered salesperson, wife, mother, author groupie, competitive trivia player, and rescuer of senior shelter dogs, happily living just north of New York City. By night, I’m an author of sex, suspense, and satire.
My background includes stints in travel marketing, travel journalism, meeting planning, public relations, financial services, and real estate. I was, for a long and happy time, an award-winning magazine writer and editor. Then kids happened. And I needed to actually make money. Now they’re off doing whatever it is they do (of which I have no idea since they won’t friend me on Facebook) and I can spend my spare time weaving tales of debauchery and whatever else tickles my fancy.
The main thing to remember about my work is that I am NOT one of my characters, though I will admit to being a yo-yo dieter with an unhealthy addiction to chocolate and cream sauce. I have felt and experienced much of what I have written herein. They say that the best books result from slicing open a vein and pouring the blood onto the page. Here’s mine. Be kind.
